' [ Xrw lor A- Herald. ] The conversation with General Mnhon which appeared yesterday in ot'r W'ttsnlngln despatches has doubtless heen 1'cad with j good deal of curiosity by others, its it was l> ourselves. Mahone has suddenly hecomc "i prominent anil even an important figure i '! national po'itic*. lie owes this important __ entirely t<> tlio Sout hern democratic .Senator 1 meirattapKs on mm, instant, unceasing, in j tor anil "i'H along tlio lino," have fixou tli | publiv eye on Malione. l'eople have asko in* i themselves, "Why nil this fuss about a ma of who has exercised his undoubted right to vot< A but on a vory trivial question?'* if the vot <*l j of Maliono in the Senate had been to c'oeiil w- the issue of I'niou or secession lie could nt n have been" more savagely sot upon. j The several conversations with prominon ist public men recently sent us by our spools Id correspondent at Washington, and of wide M? j t h if* with Malione is the last, iiave more or les >s-' explained what the Senate debate some w ha " 'carefully concealed?the real reason for till i'ii J Southern democratic bitterness town hi Sens )" tor Malione. It Is believed by democrats an 111 republicans alike in illeSenate that Malione' success irr Virginia next November will ell'ec >n ivoly split the "solid Soolli." IIonce the a he tempt to brttik him down; tlio tierce attack upon him by theSoiithern Senators; tliogren ir- aeooutit made of him by the<o gentlemen : wlio probably see by this time that tlie; would have been wiser hud they let the ohi? ! of the Virginia readjustcrs go hi? way uiim j tieed. It is evident that their fears overcani l0 their judgment. Thoi'/* o (rtinK'nncc nViniit Af ? 1 nr?r ns versation \vl?lc!? at least puts iiis sincerity b< t|? yoml doubt. Ilelsu lmrd hitter.and hcknow .s t ho ground on which he is lighting. His ox l'.' plnimtion of the appearanceor Mr. Kiddle g tiergof on the scone of contest, for instance, i ,s'l in itself a revelation of Mnlione's charactei p,j To understand it one must remember tha ,s Mahone i* the odd man in theSenute. withon Vj whose vote neither side can prevail. II Ibitnd ninons the Senate ollicersn Vlrginiai ,js who is a Bourbon democrat, and lie frank 1; fje says he determined to vote him out and to pu Ij n Virginia rcwljuster into another Senate ol j floe. And so ho announced his intention t< ' I vote for Kiddleberccr. and tiie repiihliean> shrewder than their opponents, put Kiddlt j borgor on their list, "lie voted for Hancock ! and the democrats mlghtns well have takei of him up," says Mahone. It is clear ottougl 11, | that Mahone moans to fight Ills tight out It v- Virginia with all the weapons lie can cot, am ! if the Bourbonsdown there usethesamestyl >? of attack as the democratic Senators nobod; e-| will greatly blame Mahone. se j in what lie said to our correspondent, how [ ever, we get an interesting light onthepolit b- leal situation of Virginia and of other South ! ern States. There are two classes of Boni >*c bons, he says?d-mocrntic and republicanid] and each plays into the other hands. Tin of democratic Bourbon keeps the whites togeth e-j or so as to carry the state officersnnd tin Legislature and elect Senators; the rcpnbli win Moutoon kPt-ps the nesrops together .<-0 a: to get them beaten at every election. wkere I Upon lie rushes to Washington and claims t in k federal offices. Between the two the peopled .?ithu SUite arc kept in turmoil, partisan pas in | s'ons are maintained at furnacc heat, section ?i al an I race prejudices arc assiduously stirret (j I up. ami, what Is inevitable In such a suite o .,{ tilings. the most worthless men 011 both side: 1P easily gain and keep control.and the interest: ,.1! of the people are totally forgotten or utterly despised. \\ hen a manlike Senator Malione appear ] as the leader of those who want to pel. tlieli at1 State out ot such had hands he, of course *rjdraW* upon himself their hi iter opposition to It is not st-anpe, therefore, t'?se<- thatMahom It is denounced on the one hand by the d-Miio ly | cratic State office-holders and on the other bj te the republican federal office-holders in Vira | glnia. This combination ot abuse from hot! >1. S sides Isa striking proof tlint lie is in the rlghi d 1 and that the struggle lie is making Is really it i [ the Interest of the people and of the prosper c- ity of his State, as he asserts it to be. Thai It-j the whole line ot Southern democratic Sena' iy j tors have united in attacking him proves, il le | sevins to us, very clearly that they feel lit! :s 1 success to be a irrave danger to the con tin a nnceof a similar injurious political system In t all the Southern States. If Mahonc wins in i Virginia he breaks the solid South?that !?p [P pears to be thell belief.

II ,1! has olten stood atone among Infln.-ncial I i Northern Journals in making public Il>c ^ i abuses which they su Herod. It has boon enreI fill touse'-rtaln and spread abroad the truth about such abuses. iiut the Jlrntlrt has al5' ways warned them that a solid democratic * South Was unwUe, sure to foster an great ' j abuses, and even greater, than Ihose from ;t; Which Mr. Hayes relieved them; to Injure " tiieir prosperity, degrade theirpoliiicsandden?ornll7.e t.licir voters. That, in addition, the ! co:ld South will always be la'al lo the demo* c'crat!c party we count a matter of less mo>1 inent, br-cuise we doubt if a party which has | so little brains as t<> tolerate thesolitl South in y j its organization is worthy of success.

They do not control; they arc ,5 but the figureheads used to make respectable ' | in appearance a system essentially d<*ad and j rotten General Hampton is a reputable man, 0 : and has shown himself In some great cxlgen11 j cles a great man ; hut (Jcncral Hampton lias >*! been forced to shut his eyes to things done by >l | the inanuirt-rs of his "solid" parly?by his own friend*?which would make him sl^k at heart l-1 if he wee I'oiec.l to face them. Other South s 1 ern leaders, like him honorable men, know ir j that the system on which their party mana >,! tiers rely, and mu?t rely, to maintain the solid j^outh Is corrupting ami degrading to the last 0 [ degree to every man who lias to do with It, y i An honorable and prominent Southern demoj crat said to us lately that matters had come to e sncli a pass in his State that he doubted if an honest mail would ever, until there was a char.ge, soil himself bv taking any part cx^ cept voting In a local election. *' Senator Mahone deserves credit and will win confidence by the frankness with which n j ho asserts the right of all men, black and j while, to vote.

Jackson has been received, and is to-day being crcctod , ; Dn a suitable pedestal m the gpounag jf the Naval Academy. If any one blinks that Andrew Jackson should lot have a place in the naval school, io will be enlightened by the folic ? , ng bit of naval history: During Jackson's first term, the famous frigate. Constitution was undergoing exten- . livo repairs at the C'harlestuwn Navyfar d, under the supervision of Com- . \ nodore Jesse O. Elliot. This thor- . )ugh-going Democrat oav.sod the old Iddle-shaped prow o$. <hp historic ship .0 do t'iicen uown, anu a wooaeu nodel of tho conqueror of Pakenham . ;o be raised in its place. At this sac- . ilege the old Whigs of Boston grew ndignant, and the figure was hardly :omfortably settled in its niche, be,'ore an intrepid marine sealed the leights of the Constitution and cut the President's head off. The indignant Elliot stuck it on again, and sc-t u juard to watch it, but tho same wily jxecutionor eluded the watch one la?-k night, and the headless trunk net the eyes of the confounded Comnodore on his rounds tho next morn-; ng. A second time the head was rojovored by the indefatigable Elliot, ^ . md rumor hath it that the President sent him to sea in command of tho Mediterranean squadron, to save hia _ ? nvn head and reward the unquench- , - ? ~ - iblezeal of his admirer. i,vcn .jacKion, however, could hardly pat him on " hs back, when the party zoal of this 2 S9 iame officer led him to fill his gunleek with jackasses on his homeward royage, and to set on foot and to subscribe to a testimonial service of plate o be presented, not to the President,-' )ut to Commodore JSlliot. A courtnartial sentenced him to four years' iuspension from duty, but it appears hat all the jackasses in America musfc jave been convinced of his unselfish' vish to improve their breed, and iigned a petition in his behalf; for we' ind that he was restored to duty be-;' ore the expiration of his term ol ;entencc. The figure-head was, howiver, suffered to rest in pcuec, and leems to have followed, unmolested, ill the subsequent fortunes of the an* :ient ship, until its arrival at Phila? ' lelphia, where it is now being set In ? .d >rderfor the coming Exposition. Aa t would be manifestly inappropriate, vith all defcrenec to the contrary opinon of the eccentric Commodore, to associate Andrew Jackson with timbers hat speak more audibly than th* >ak of Dodona. of Hull and Bain* ; :V iridge, of Chauncey and Stewart, of Decatur and Somers, tlie figure of tha' president has been removed, and *tf)t, at the request of the Superinendent of tho Naval Academy, Innapolis. The figure is bareheaded, tnd wears a dress suit of the timo,- ir? >ver which an ample cloak falls, gath- J >;j sred at the throat witfi the usual cord,. . . } i roll of manuscript is held in the ight hand, and the left is buried in;he breast of his brass-buttoned and roluininous waist-coat. The likeness Sick the features bear to the ori trains not ba<i, and the hair, at any BANIAN'S. Some fury for revenge exists in vhat we may call the Badawi aDd he semi-Bodawi stages of ^society? rom the "lied Indian" to tho Corsi:an. It is a religious duty. The jhost of the murdered man eannot, est; he haunts the family; even tho icreeeh owl and the cuckoo are the. 'oices calling for vengeance; The A1-. )onian or Montenegrin mother will till hang up the blood-stained pater?al shirt, ai\d show it to her sons till hey take the murderer's life. Ilenea re shall see that a brother, not ry" riend, is compelled to behead his. rounded brother who ran the risk of ailing into Ottoman hands, and when, l criminal was shot a multitude took )art in the execution. If bloodnoney (patiti Krvarinu) was accepted^ k long ceremony took place. On a Ixed day the man-slayer, wearing tho. atal weapon round his ncck, crawled ip to the head of the assembled famiy, and implored his pardon. The lat>, er, taking the arm, cried in a loud ,nd terrible voice, "Brethren! here is he slayer of our kinsman, will yo that) put him to death?" The reply was, 'Pardon him, in the name of God 1" ?he homicide then kissed the feet, ho knees, the hands, and linally tha ips of the "Domachin," (house-mas* or;) and thus peace was made. Then 11 sat down to a . copious' feast, paid :>r by the murderer, in addition to the 1) or 09 sequins of "blood-inoAey."; et the national saying was, and still 5, "Onse ne osveti, onse lie posveti"? fui non vindicat non sanotillcatur. 'he universal practice is a curious omment upon the theory of Chrisianity.?CorukiU. ' . t < / Samuel Houghton, author of a work n "Animal Mechanics." writes to.Mure respecting the relative strength f the lion and tho tiger:?I havo. roved that the strength of the lion in lie fore limbs is only G9.0 per cent. of. liat of the tiger, and that the strength f his hind limbs is only 63.9 per cent. f that of the tiger. I may add that ve men can easily hold down a lion, .. rhile it requires nine men to control a iger. Martial also slates that .tho igers always killed the liuns in thft mphitheatre. "HERBINE."
